Published on October 17, 2025
NEW YORK—Global eyecare nonprofit Orbis International has launched the start of a training project this week in Ghana on board the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital, a fully accredited ophthalmic teaching hospital on a plane. The organization works around the world to prevent blindness and restore sight for children and adults in places where eyecare is out of reach. In the announcement, Orbis International stated that the project comes with an invitation from the Ghana Ministry of Health, with the three-week training project taking place in Accra and Kumasi in partnership with the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH), the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), and the Ghana Ophthalmic Nursing School. The project aims to build the skills of local eyecare teams, raise awareness about eyecare resources available in Ghana, and continue building lasting access to sight-saving care in the country, the group advised.
